Here is a VINTAGE AMF WEN-MAC TEXACO TANKER SHIP NORTH DAKOTA w/BOX FROM THE 1960s. This ship is in good condition with some normal signs of wear. It has all of the mast, none are broken, which is rare on this item. I do have the raider which is not shown in the pictures. I believe it has a chip in the mounting slot of the raider. Easy repair. There are a few scratches on the body and a little bit of wear on the decals from over the years. Other than that the ship is complete and in wonderful condition for its age. I have not tested to see if it works, i didn't want to open it up in case i did harm to it. The color on this beauty is excellent with a bright red bottom, maroon deck, and great detail throughout including the deck lay out with all the piping and man hole covers. Lets not forget the ships split house, with all the portholes, in nice detail as well. The front top center part of the deck can be removed via two screws and takes two D batteries. As mentioned this tanker comes with the original box, which is a little damaged from over the years. It has a few rips and some markings as well. This is the original box for this beautiful toy. The bottom of the ship has two sets of wheels and a nameplate. Here is what the nameplate reads:
